Welcome Bay parks improvements
It’s all go in Welcome Bay! 🤩
The playground upgrade and new 3x3 basketball court at Waipuna Park are complete, and the middle sports fields (northern end of the park) are getting better drainage and new training lights installed. Once this work is complete, cricket practice nets will be added. We’re also connecting up the existing footpath at the northern end of Kaitemako Road to the new pathway that leads into the playground.
A heads up that two access points to Johnson Reserve will be closed over the next few weeks for upgrades, including the Pelorus Street walkway which is getting a new fence, and the Meander Drive access which is getting a new concrete path and boardwalk.

FARMERS PURCHASING
JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
